Last Updated: Seven people were being treated for injuries after jumping from windows or balconies in panic but there was no immediate report of any serious damage A strong earthquake measuring 6.2 on the Richter scale struck Greece's islands early Tuesday, causing tremors that were also felt across neighbouring Turkey. The quake, centred in the Dodecanese Islands region near the Turkish border, was reported at a depth of 68 kilometres. Residents in both countries were awakened by the shaking, but no immediate reports of major damage have emerged. Meanwhile, a 5.8-magnitude earthquake was recorded in Turkey's Mediterranean coastal town of Marmaris. Officials said that one died, a 14-year-old girl, and several people were injured as they tried to flee their homes in panic. 'A 14-year-old girl died following a panic attack and some 70 people were hurt in the Mugla province as they rushed to find safety, including 'some who jumped from a height", Turkish Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya said on X. There were no initial reports of buildings destroyed in residential areas, he added. 'In Fethiye, a 14-year-old girl named Afranur Gunlu was taken to the hospital due to a panic attack but, unfortunately, despite all interventions, she passed away," Yerlikaya said. According to Turkey's Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency (AFAD), the earthquake hit at 2:17 a.m. local time and was centred in the Mediterranean Sea. 'There is currently no negative situation following the 5.8 magnitude #deprem earthquake that occurred at 02:17 off the coast of Marmaris, Muğla, Mediterranean and was felt in the provinces of Muğla, Aydın, Denizli, Manisa and İzmir. Field scanning work continues," Turkey's AFAD updated in a post on X. Marmaris Governor Idris Akbiyik told Turkish media that the injuries happened when people jumped from windows and balconies in fear, and confirmed that there was no immediate report of any serious damage. Turkey lies on several major fault lines and experiences frequent earthquakes. The country is still recovering from the devastating 7.8-magnitude earthquake in 2023, which killed over 53,000 people and damaged hundreds of thousands of buildings across 11 provinces in the south and southeast. In neighbouring Syria, around 6,000 people also lost their lives in that disaster. (With inputs from agencies) Location : Turkey First Published: June 03, 2025, 07:46 IST
